I Am Getting Desperate, Need Offline Business Advice
I am in a pretty desperate spot right now. I am just struggling to work out how to get from A to B with my business idea. Here is some background info for you guys...
I want to start a business that provides website design and SEO services to my local area, but I have almost no clue where to get started.
I have the skills (website design, SEO knowledge, sales experience) but I don't have the 'know how' of setting my business up(contracts/legal obligations/how to do tax/who to get advice from).
The thing is, I know I can get clients. I have made some cold calls and had people agree to my very low prices ($400 to setup a website, $50 monthly fee for hosting and basic SEO), but I have no idea how to :
- Receive setup payment
- Make sure they pay the monthly fee
- Cover myself legally
- How to 'pitch' SEO (You can't guarentee rankings, so how do you convince a client their website will EVENTUALLY get good rankings in Google?)
- What to do if they cancel the monthly payments?
- How contracts work
- Anything and everything else involved in running a business
Would anyone be willing to hold my hand or direct me to a 'step by step to setting up your business right' guide? Everything I have read seems to skimp over the details of correctly setting up a contract/legal obligations of local businesses etc
Sorry to ramble on, I just don't know where to turn to for this...
Any help is appreciated, thanks guys
